Transformers – A Movie Review
Before we begin, let’s just get one thing straight-this movie is based on a toy line from well over twenty years ago. A TOY LINE. So, if you’re going into this movie expecting Citizen Kane or The Godfather, please, think again. If there’s one thing that drives me crazy, it’s people dissecting summer blockbuster action…

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix – A Movie Review
Prepare yourself for the ultimate sacrilege. I’ve read none of the Harry Potter books. Zero. Zilch. Nada. So therefore, all of my working knowledge of the boy wizard comes from my wife, who’s a big fan of the books, and the movies. I’ll be honest. I didn’t care for the first three films. I’m not…

Reno 911!: Miami – A Movie Review
I’m a big fan of the television show on Comedy Central. My wife and I love it. Unfortunately, as so often is the case, the TV show didn’t translate well to the big screen. In thirty minute episodes of the television program, we are privy to several “calls” where the sheriff’s department can run up…

The Bourne Ultimatum – A Movie Review
HUGE Bourne fan! HUUUUGE! That said, The Bourne Ultimatum wasn’t quite as good as the first two, and I’ll tell you why (without spoilers), but it’s still better than most of what’s out there. The good-awesome, awesome, awesome action sequences. Incredible stuff. Damon is as intense as ever. The locations are still gorgeous and realistic. …

Hot Fuzz – A Movie Review
Brought to you by the same blokes who gave you Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz is the same brand of humor, though it parodies a different genre. Hot Fuzz is about a workaholic London police officer who makes his department look so bad because they can’t keep up with his arrests that they send…

Blades of Glory – A Movie Review
In Blades of Glory we have two male figure skaters played by Will Ferrell and Jon Heder. Will’s character is an oversexed, womanizing sort and Heder … is the exact opposite. They’re two of the best in the world, but through a series of circumstances I won’t spoil, they are banned from men’s competition and…

The Dark Knight – A Movie Review
(No Spoilers Ahead) Simply “wow.” This movie surpassed even my lofty expectations as a Batman fan. Epic in nature with nonstop action and a tight, logical storyline that organically meshed with the characterization of its players, The Dark Knight deserves every bit of the accolades it’s amassing. Christian Bale’s Batman is truly a force of…

Lars and the Real Girl – A Movie Review
I’m proud to admit that the main reason I wanted to see Lars and the Real Girl is because I’m a Ryan Gosling fan. I loved his work in The Notebook, Stay, and Fracture, so I figured as strange as Lars and the Real Girl sounded, I’d give it a shot. If you ask anyone,…
